Mate ,both are manuals and mine is the series two has the larger with flat bottom another friend has vehicle identical to mine and also has large same diff .Needless to say the bloke with 2003 series 3 feels cheated

i heard nissan were lazy with the 3L in the parts bin some coped the big rear diff hs266 and some got the smaller hs233 it was luck of the draw i believe it was only on the 3l

I don't have sliders just shitty old ARB steps (mach 1 bend a lot) with the top plate missing cos they don't fit anymore, but am thinking of making myself some.
Have seen a few good examples on here that i might pinch a few idea's from tho.

Just got some interesting info patrol4wd.org
Diff ratio and rear housing can be picked from the transaxle code.
The 2 digit number signifies the diff ratio and the letter code signifies the housing
ie HG 46 - 4.625 H233b rear diff
HH41 _4.111 H260 rear diff Leaf sprung utes 3.0L and 4.5L gotr these
Usual numbers are 39-3.9 , 4.1 -4.111 , 43 - 4.375 and the wanted model is 46 - 4.625
H260 rear diff has ratios of 4.111 and 4.375 only
H233b has all the rest .That was in their archives
Just went and had a look then mine says HH43 or 4.375 got to be happy with that thought i would only have 4.1 at the best

all 3L i believe got 4.3 in them
most people prefer the samller rear diff to fit into GQ for comp work
